It was late in June the fourteenth Eight thousand miles away When the news men told us Our troops had won the day For ten long weeks they battled For what they knew was right The freedom of the British Was the reason for the fight Never let yourself Go down on your knees We won't be slaves And we won't be thieves If it takes forty years We will win through the day We've got the power We will make them pay We've got the power We will make them pay We've got the power At the end of the day We've got the power Two strings don't make a right We've got the power The end is in sight They kept us in the dark For two weeks at a time The distance from the abttle Was put to the blame Showing only good things And nothing of the bad The censors for the people Showed their mighty hand
